Travel Talk Taipei Backpackers Hostel

Too cramped and shabby for tourists comparing with other hostels in the city.

Pros - comfortable bed, room liveable between 8pm-10am when AC is allowed on.nCons - very very uncomfortable outside of AC hours as the private rooms are without windows or any ventilation. There is a worrying amount of black mold in the bathrooms. Not particularly hygienic amenities in the kitchen area either. Older reviews referred to a good breakfast but this is no longer available.nAlso if you can't find the place there's no identifiable signage on the street but it's next to 7-11 with a postcard sized sign (pictured).

Caring and helpful owner. Decent location and facilities.

Nice staff working here and nice place to stay for foreigners as everything is provided

Clean room, good price. Good location too, a lot of busses stop less than a block away. Beware in the summer though - the building is old and full of cockroaches, and the common area is not air conditioned.
